Utility bill audit

Commercial electricity, gas, and water are billed under tariff schedules with dozens of variants — demand charges, riders, tax classifications, meter multipliers. Utilities apply them automatically and rarely revisit them. Every review starts from the specific tariff filed for your account.

Twelve months of bills. Nothing else to prepare.

What we look for

Each of these is a rule that exists in writing somewhere — a filed tariff, a signed contract, a state statute — and can be checked against your own documents.

  1. 01A rate class that does not match the load

    An account placed on a schedule meant for a different consumption profile is charged that way on every invoice until somebody asks.

  2. 02Demand charges never trued up

    Peaks estimated at setup and never reconciled against actual meter data stay in the billing indefinitely.

  3. 03Tax charged on exempt usage

    Manufacturing, resale, and certain nonprofit usage is exempt in many states. The exemption has to be claimed; it is not applied for you.

  4. 04Meter multiplier and billing-unit errors

    These scale every single invoice, which is what makes a small error large over a year.

  5. 05Riders applied to account types they do not cover

    Surcharges written for one class of account routinely appear on another.

A tariff is a filed public document. Checking your account against it is ordinary arithmetic that almost nobody performs, because it is slow and nobody is paid to do it.

What to send

Documents you already hold. Nothing to prepare, nothing to export, no access to any system — and nothing is uploaded until the agreement is signed.

  1. 01Twelve months of bills

    PDF exports are fine, one set per account you want checked.

  2. 02Your service agreement, if it is handy

    Not needed to start. We ask only if a finding depends on it.

We do not need anything that identifies an individual person.

This is arithmetic against published rules, not an inspection of your staff. If a document you are about to send happens to contain names, redact them or send the summary page instead — the arithmetic does not change.

What you get, and what it costs

The deliverable is the same whether or not there is money to recover: a written document that states what was checked, against which rule, and with what result.

Findings reportLine item by line item, per account and per location, with the tariff provision each finding rests on.
Refund claimsPrepared and filed with the utility, and followed until they are resolved.
The overcharge stoppedWhere a better tariff exists, the switch is handled, so the error stops going forward and not just backward.
If nothing is recoverableA short written all-clear. Worth having: it means the billing was done correctly.
Our fee40 % of what is actually refunded or credited to your account. Nothing up front, nothing hourly, nothing if we find nothing.

Your state, your approximate annual spend, and the vendor. That is enough for us to tell you whether a review is worth your time — before any document changes hands.
